Just my two cents: I was the one who gave an unsound dog of MY breeding a
second and third chance. In the early 80's, my black JJ daughter nipped a
jogger in the ass (and a very fat ass it was) and went after my landlord,
biting him in the upper leg, narrowly missing the family jewels. There were
other instances, though not as extreme. I always used excuses: she "thought"
the jogger was "after" me, ditto the landlord. It was only after she put out
the eye of a 12 week old pup, that I put her down--she was 8, but I should've
done it when she was two. Unsound is unsound: I believe temperament is
hereditary and BOTH of her parents were unsound, although at the time I was a
newbie and didn't understand that. I thought LOVE could cure anything. Well,
she LOVED ME, but she was still nuts.
